Liberty became a city in 2001 in order to incorporate - mostly to assess taxes.
Did you know Liberty's original name was "Salubrity Springs"?
The community, originally called "Salubrity Springs" was chartered in 1876
According to the 2000 Census:
The racial makeup of Liberty was:
• 86.94% White

* It will be interesting to see how this data will change with the 2010 Census
Did you know that Liberty South Carolina has its own Wikipedia page?
You can edit Liberty's Wikipedia page freely if you have any information to add or events to comment on.
